摘要：近日有媒体报道称，一种小作坊生产，无任何标志的药袋被当地果农大量使用。这种药袋将包裹幼果直到成熟，白色药末直接与苹果接触。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

Shandong province authorities are investigating allegations of illegally covering apples in orchards with pesticide-filled bags to protect the fruit from insects and damage from branches and weather.

Farmers usually use the fruit bags to cover and protect growing fruit from the insecticides that growers spray on fruit trees. Putting pesticides in the bags is illegal.

近日有媒体报道称，有些果园的果农为了防止虫害、树枝和恶劣天气对苹果的损害而使用非法药袋，针对这一现象，山东政府展开调查。

果农通常给苹果套上纸袋，可避免农药与果实直接接触。在袋子里放农药是非法的。

【讲解】

文中的###“pesticide-filled bags”就是“药袋”的意思，“pesticide”是指“杀虫剂”，“-icide”是后缀用来指“杀死”，如：suicide 自杀，herbicide 除草剂。“insecticide”也可以指“杀虫剂”。“药袋”也可以译为chemical-contaminated bags或者“pesticide-coated bags”。
